The group continued along the newly discovered road, feeling both hopeful and cautious. Only time would tell what fate awaited them.

"No matter what dangers lie ahead, we will face them together." Su Chen held Xiao Ya's hand tightly and walked forward firmly.

Xiao Ya snuggled up to him, her eyes full of trust: "Well, Brother Ye, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

The group continued along the newly discovered road, with an indescribable sense of oppression in the air. This passage was more tortuous than the previous one, and was filled with all kinds of traps and traps. Su Chen walked ahead carefully, occasionally using the tip of his sword to test whether the road ahead was safe.

Suddenly, Lily stopped and frowned: "There seems to be a very ancient and powerful force here."

Su Chen looked around vigilantly, and saw many ancient runes appearing on the wall, emitting a dark blue light. These runes looked like some kind of formation, as if they were hiding a huge secret.

"What is this? It looks very dangerous." There was a hint of nervousness in Xiaomi's voice.

"I don't know, but we have to be careful." Su Chen said slowly and continued to move forward.

As they went deeper and deeper, the pressure in the air gradually increased. Just when they reached a crossroads, the ground suddenly shook, and a strong wind blew from a distance, raising a lot of dust.

Su Chen waved his hand to block the dust in front of him and shouted sternly: "Everyone step back!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge figure appeared in front of them. It was a huge black fog, with a dazzling golden light in the center, as if an illusory shadow was wandering in it.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!" The voice was extremely majestic, and it shook in everyone's ears like thunder.

Lily narrowed her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Where exactly is this ancient tomb?"

The golden light in the black fog became more dazzling, emitting bursts of light. "I am the Emperor of Heaven, the king who once ruled the entire world. But now, my soul is trapped in this ancient tomb. You have awakened me, and now your fate is closely linked to mine."

"Emperor of Heaven?" Xiao Ya looked at the black mist in shock, unable to believe her ears.

"That's right, young man," the voice sounded again, "but I am very weak now. If you are willing to help me regain my strength, I can bring you great benefits. Otherwise..."

Su Chen's eyes were like torches, and he took a step forward without fear: "What else? It's useless to threaten us. If you really want to get help, then show your sincerity."

There was a hint of helplessness in the Emperor's voice, but it was still full of deterrence: "You don't know how important my existence is to this world. I once had everything, but a conspiracy took away everything from me. If I can regain my power, I will definitely bring peace and prosperity to this world. But before that, I need to find a new carrier to truly revive."

Xiaomi frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'carrier'?"

"To put it simply, I need a suitable body to carry my soul. Only in this way can I appear before the world in my true form again." The Emperor's voice revealed a hint of urgency.

Su Chen smiled coldly: "So you want one of us to be your puppet, right? Sorry, this is impossible."

Xiao Ya held Su Chen's hand tightly and said firmly: "Brother Ye is right, we will not let anyone become a pawn in the hands of others."

At this moment, Lily coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "Emperor Tian, ​​no matter how much you say, it is meaningless. We can consider other ways to help you, but we must not sacrifice our companions."

The Emperor's voice became deeper and deeper: "In that case, then you should get ready. I don't have much time left, and I must recover my strength as soon as possible."

As his voice fell, the black fog suddenly expanded, and an invisible pressure forced everyone to almost gasp for breath. Su Chen quickly drew his sword, with the flame of battle burning in his eyes.

"No matter who you are, we will never surrender." Su Chen shouted loudly, pointing the tip of the sword at the black fog.

The Emperor's voice was filled with anger: "Then let's see whether you are more tenacious or my will is stronger!"

At this moment, the black fog rushed over and attacked Su Chen directly. Su Chen dodged the attack quickly, and swung his sword at the same time, and a bright sword light cut through the black fog. However, the black fog was not dispersed, but became thicker.

Seeing this, Xiaomi and Lanli also joined the battle, and the three of them worked together to deal with the black fog that kept changing its form. Xiaoya stood aside, with the staff shining in her hand, ready to cast powerful auxiliary magic to support her partners at any time.

Lily's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she whispered a spell, and the magic weapon in her hand emitted a faint light. She chuckled and said, "Heroes, hold on, I'll be here to help you soon."

As she spoke, a huge stone on the stone wall suddenly moved, revealing a hidden path. Lily quickly ran there, obviously having a new plan.

While defending against the black fog's attack, Su Chen shouted, "Lily, where are you going!?"

Lily turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go see if this road leads outside, maybe it can buy us some time."

Su Chen was touched, but he couldn't think too much at this moment. He could only concentrate on dealing with this sudden crisis.

"No matter what, we will not give up!" Su Chen gritted his teeth and persisted, resisting the attack of the black fog together with his teammates.

Just when the situation was most urgent, Lily suddenly appeared, holding a crystal clear gem in her hand. She shouted, "Found it! There is something here that can seal this energy. Give me a few minutes to set up the barrier!"

"Lily, hurry up, we can't hold on for too long!" Xiaomi shouted anxiously, with beads of sweat already covering his forehead.

"No problem, I'll finish it as soon as possible!" Lily said, and quickly began to set up the barrier.

At the same time, Su Chen and his team continued to fight with the remnant soul of the Emperor of Heaven with all their strength. Every minute and every second was particularly precious. "Come on, everyone, we must hold on to the end!" Su Chen encouraged the team loudly, his eyes full of determination.

The black fog rolled in the air, circling like a giant black dragon, launching round after round of fierce attacks on everyone. Su Chen, Xiaomi and Lan Li fought side by side, struggling to resist the invisible pressure. Swords flashed, spells roared, and for a moment the entire ancient tomb seemed to be illuminated by the light of battle.

"Lily, what's wrong? Hurry up!" the little girl urged anxiously.

Lily formed seals with her hands, and the gemstone emitted a dazzling light, gradually forming a huge ball of light under her control. "It will take a little while, just hold on a little longer!"

At this moment, the voice of the Emperor of Heaven sounded again, full of threats and anger: "You tiny human, do you think you can stop me like this? How naive!" Before he finished speaking, a stronger energy suddenly erupted from the black fog, directly dispersing the attacks of the three people and forcing them to retreat several steps in succession.

Su Chen frowned, his eyes becoming more determined. "Everyone be careful, its power has increased again."

Just as they were locked in a bitter battle, a strong vibration suddenly came from under their feet, and the entire ancient tomb seemed to be shaking. A deep crack appeared in the ground, and accompanied by a deafening roar, a blazing light burst out from the crack.

Lily was shocked and looked up at the crack, only to see a fiery red figure slowly rising. It was a man wearing flaming armor and a golden crown, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"Who is it again!" Xiaomi exclaimed, instinctively standing in front of his teammates, staring at the uninvited guest vigilantly.

The man looked around sharply, and finally landed on the black fog. "Emperor of Heaven? How did you become like this?" His voice was steady and powerful, and it was obvious that he was from an important background.

Hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven seemed to be even more furious. "Emperor Yan?! I didn't expect you to be here! Humph, I know exactly why you came here. Do you want to take my power too?"

The man called Emperor Yan raised his lips slightly and sneered, "Your power should have disappeared long ago. Now you only have this little remnant of soul left to survive. Why don't you be free from it?"

The Emperor of Heaven was not willing to be outdone, and roared, "How dare you! I am the Emperor of Heaven, and I will never allow anyone to covet anything that belongs to me, even if they have only a little spiritual awareness!"

The confrontation between the two powerful men instantly set off the whole place, and the air was filled with an even more oppressive atmosphere. At this critical moment, the barrier in Lily's hand was finally completed. "Now! Come and help me activate this formation!"

Seeing this, Su Chen and the others quickly retreated to Lily's side, and the four of them worked together to drive the formation. In an instant, a dazzling white light burst out, turning into countless rays of light that penetrated the black fog and bound it layer by layer.

Feeling the powerful binding force from the barrier, the Emperor of Heaven roared in despair and anger, "Damn it... How could I lose to you guys! I will remember you..." As the last sentence fell, the black fog was completely purified and disappeared.

Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, the man named Yan Di suddenly came closer and said, "It seems that I am not too late." His tone was relaxed, as if he did not take what had just happened seriously.

"Who are you?" Su Chen asked respectfully. After all, this person was extremely powerful and might even be able to be a help.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Yan Di, and I'm also one of the guardians of this world." He smiled slightly. "You guys were able to defeat that guy, which shows that you have great potential. But don't be too happy too soon, a bigger crisis is coming... Oh, by the way, why did you come to this place?"

So, in the following time, Su Chen briefly explained the purpose of their trip and how they found this place. After listening, Emperor Yan nodded to show his understanding, and then said seriously: "In this case, I want you to do me a favor-"

"It's no problem for you to help, but please take us to a safe place to rest first. Our companions are all exhausted." Su Chen pleaded.

Yan Di hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. "Okay, follow me, there is a secluded place nearby that is perfect for you to rest."

After that, several people followed him through the narrow corridor and soon came to a secret room. The layout here was very simple but clean and tidy, enough for the exhausted adventure team to rest for a while.

While everyone was taking care of themselves, Emperor Yan quietly pulled Su Chen aside and whispered a few words. "To be honest, I need your help to sneak into the demon clan's territory to steal an important item, and the place is heavily guarded and very dangerous."

Su Chen frowned and thought for a moment, and finally agreed to the request, "Okay, but we also have a request. It is said that being captured and forced to work as a laborer for an alchemist is very hard, and they are always beaten. I hope you can find a way to rescue those poor people."

"Haha, no problem." Emperor Yan patted Su Chen on the shoulder cheerfully, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me! That's it."

When I returned to my teammates, I saw that everyone had a relaxed smile on their face. Although the upcoming mission was full of unknowns and risks, at least there was a moment of peace for now.

As night fell, the bonfire in the secret room burned brightly, reflecting the figures of people relying on each other. Su Chen asked the little girl beside him softly, "We are leaving tomorrow, are you afraid?"

She smiled and shook her head: "As long as I am with Brother Ye, I am not afraid. And I believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them together."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with warmth and courage. No matter what, what awaits them ahead will be another brand new challenge...

At the same time, in a hidden corner not far away, two mysterious figures were quietly discussing something.

"According to the spies' reports, Emperor Yan has already colluded with that group of people." said one of the hoarse voices.

The other was silent for a while before he responded, "It doesn't matter. This way our plan will go more smoothly. We just need to make use of it a little bit when the time comes... hehe."

The two figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only a string of strange laughter echoing in the silent night, foreshadowing that more unpredictable events were brewing.

Su Chen and the others spent a quiet night in the secret room. The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the stone, the entire team was ready. Emperor Yan had been waiting at the door early. Seeing that they were all ready to go, he nodded and indicated that they could set off.

"Now that everything is ready, let's set off. The place we are going to is in the magical continent, where the environment is harsh and dangerous. Everyone must stay vigilant." Yan Di spoke with a serious tone.

The group followed Emperor Yan through the long passage and finally walked out from a hidden exit. Suddenly, the view in front of them was clear, and they saw a vast plain in front of them, with some strange landforms faintly visible in the distance. (End of this chapter)
